Basement Waterproofing: not a DIY job.
Your basement the foundation of your home, in other words, the very structure that supports your house and everything in it. As a result, everything you do to it will have an impact on the whole house. It will have an influence on your home's market value, its energy consumption and indoor air quality, not to mention on the very structural safety of the house.For that reason, you want to make sure that everything done in your basement is done by someone who is knowledgeable, and uses the best materials and processes.
Consider that most waterproofing DIY methods and products, such as sealants and cementitious compounds, are not made to handle hydrostatic pressure for the long run. They will eventually loose the ability to keep water from seeping in to the basement. Even though they are easy to apply, they are temporary solutions.
The other alternative consists in digging out the foundations, installing an exterior perimeter drainage system, such as a French drain, and damp proofing or insulating exterior walls. Tasks that many handy (or daring) DIY inclined homeowners would take upon themselves. However they are messy, disruptive, expensive jobs, also known to fail overtime, even if done properly. Conventional French drains are known to clog with mud and debris.
The technologies and products we use at Evergreen Basement Systems were developed based on over 20 years of hands-on experience on the field, and cutting edge building science and research. They are state-of-the-art, award-wining waterproofing solutions, proven to keep your basement dry for as long as your house stands. We represent the world's authority in foundation waterproofing.
You cannot find any of our products in a hardware store, being sold for DIY projects for a number of reasons.
The best product in the world will not work as expected nor as long as needed, if it is not installed, handled and consistently serviced by experienced, trained professionals.
Every member of our service staff is consistently trained and kept updated with the latest technical advances throughout the years.
